E) Share the information of technical trend for ship
monitoring in the Pacific region (Joint Session with EO
WG)
• Recognize the growing applications of space space-based based
Automatic Identification System (AIS) for ship
monitoring g in Asia and Pacific region, g , especially p y
recognize the advantage of fusioning space-based space based AIS
& SAR data; and encourage further research &
development for for its its applications applications, data fusion fusion, and
integration of sensors in one platform.
• Encourage g the continuous information sharing g between
EO and satellite communication community on the
